Quote: Part of me says: I really and truly hate the way he shows desire, so therefore I should keep at this until we are BOTH happy. The other part says: Good gravy, woman, what are ya nuts. Just enjoy what you have and help him make up for his weaknesses and play up his strengths.
I guess what I'm saying is a combination of these. You should probably accept the possibility that if you ever DO achieve what you're after, it may take a LONG time. You may just be being too impatient. The time scale may be all that's off. Is it worth going after, if it may take YEARS with no guarantee? You're the only one who can answer that. And, as you point out, things are pretty good without it... that may be what you get, but then again, there may be surprises down the road. The Lord works in mysterious ways...
